Instructions
Rinse and drain the rice 6 times. Bring to a boil with 4 cups of water, covered, then turn down to low and cook for 13 minutes. Turn off the heat and let sit for 5 minutes.
Spread out the rice on a baking sheet (covered in parchment or silicone helps) and let cool about one hour. This helps dry out the rice so it doesn't stick when stir-frying. Naomi prefers it stickier.
Heat a large wok or non-stick frying pan over medium heat and add 1 tablespoon of the grapeseed oil. When the oil is shimmering, add the Spam, stir-frying for about 8 minutes until browned and crispy.
Push the Spam to the edges of the pan and add the remaining oil, allowing it to heat up before adding the rice. Stir fry until the rice has lots of crispy bits.
Add the peas and stir fry until hot. Add the green onions and soy sauce and stir fry another minute or two more. Serve immediately.
Notes
Since this is a WWII-era recipe, it is frugal in its use of Spam and peas. Feel free to add more. This is also yummy with broccoli instead of peas.
